Player Review: Pete Alonso
2020 Stats: 57 Games, 208 At Bats, .231 Batting Average, 48 Hits, 6 Doubles, 16 Home Runs, 35 RBI’s, 31 Runs Scored, 1 Stolen Base, .817 OPS, 0.0 WAR
Story: Expectations for Pete Alonso were sky-high after his 53-homer Rookie of the Year campaign in 2019. The Mets began the year with Alonso prominently in the middle of the lineup but he never really got into a true groove all year. Despite leading the team with 16 home runs Alonso’s OPS dipped by over 100 points from year to year, falling from .941 in 2019 to just .817 this year. Alonso’s batting average also fell by nearly 30 points as he carried his struggles at the plate out into the field, resulting in the Mets shifting some of his at-bats to the DH spot to let Dominic Smith start at first. The good news was that Alonso stayed healthy, allowing him to play in 57 of the team’s 60 games.
